Hi everyone
Im still in highschool but will be starting some after school help at a machine shop this winter to start learning the trade and seeing if its something I can do. My grandfather was a machinist and I really want to follow in his footsteps and make it my career! My dad found this forum and thought I should post to see if anyone has anyy advice for me. I am a amputee from meningitis when i was a little kid. I am missing both feet, my left hand and I only have short fingers on my right hand. I have prosthetics and I can do alot and am taking auto tech class and doing super well! but I am worried that I will be limited and not get into trade school or get a job as im obviously slower at doing things is there anyone on here that has advice or experence as a amputee too? How does doing precisioon things work for you? thanks so much!
